"I love Pantera and I always thought it would be cool to hear other band's interpretations of their songs. Naturally, when this CD came out I rushed out and bought it. I've since listened to the CD about 10 times or so before writing this. (I don't think it's fair that most people listen to a CD once then come on here and review it right away.) Let me first say that most of the songs on this album sound like they were recorded by the different bands using the exact same equipment in the studio, so if you're looking for variety, there really isn't that much on here. Anyways, to make a long story short, most of the vocals are so poorly done on this album that it makes my ears bleed! I love the guitars and hearing the different interpretations, but some of these guys couldn't even carry a tune in a bucket! lol! The best tracks have to be, "Cowboys From Hell", "Mouth For War", 'I'm Broken" and "Message In Blood". I think Pantera deserves a tribute, they are a great band, it woulda just been nice to see some more talented bands make that tribute."
ITS TOO SOON FOR A TRIBUTE.

"STICK WITH THE REAL DEAL. IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY A PANTERA SONG BETTER THAN IT ALREADY IS."

"i avoided buying this cd due to the reviews. i regret buying PANTHER, the other tribute cd. i thought id chance it and buy this one due to the fact that HOSTILE INTENT and GODFLESH were on it. this is definitely the better one of the two tributes. PANTHER was really nothing more than a bunch of garage bands trying to give an interpretation of PANTERA. if you like HEAVY, buy this tribute and stay away from PANTHER..."
Dwell records has done it agian

"Yet ANOTHER HORRIBAL TRIBUTE album thats is getting a horribal reputation of making some of the WORST Tribute CDs around. This Cd like The Manson, Slayer, White ZOmbie and others is alot of no-name bands doing popular songs. Scary German Guy is pretty ok. Thank god Dwell didnt put Shockwerks on this cd. By all means stay away from this cd. the only good thing wouldbe the art work which kicks the other Pantera tributes art work. Avoid!"
Decent showcase for lesser known bands

"I think the Scary German Guy version of Suicide Note II is pretty damn cool. The rest of it is just average."
